To (all (all/0m it may concern.-

Be it lmown that I, LL'DWIG saunter, mechanical engineer, a subject ofthe German Emperor, residing at Nuremberg, in the Kingdom of Bavaria,German Empire, have invented a new and useful Single-'.lype-CastingMachine, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to single-type-casting machines adapted for castingspaces of different heightsnamely, either high or low, as circumstancesmey require-and more particularly to machines in which this ohject isattained by means of a main slide, an auxiliary slide guided in the mainslide, taking part in, its motion and adapted to either shorten the moldby the width of the auxiliary slide or to leave it at the normal len th,and a controlling device which determines the position of the auxiliaryslide, and consequently the width of the mold.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a device embocying my invention; Fig. 2, a plan thereof when at rest, and Fig. 3 is aplan of the device in the work- A represents the main .lide embedded inthe frame L and carrying 1 i. a guide-slot an. auxiliary slide B. ThelI-titl is normally held. in place by means of a pair of cheeks (Z, alever E, and a pawl D, pressed down by a spring F. v This spring Fcontrols, in a measure, the motion of the auxiliary slide B, and anadjustable setscrew G limits the same by limiting the motion of thedoublearmed upright lever E.

A spring H, forming part of the slide B, is

listed at one end to pin secured to the angleplate J and presses with.the opposite end against the lug K.

The open space or gap 0 serves as the mold. It is situated between andlimited. by the sliding shutter C, the part N of the mold, Fig. 1, andthe main slide A. in Figs. 2 and 3 the part N of the mold has been leitout.

The mechanism hereinbet'ore described operates as follows: If the pawl Dby means of a suitable mechanism actu ted by the driving-shaft of thecasting-machine is lifted in the direction indicated by the arrow, thelever E is released and the slide B is pushed forward by t e spring H,so that apart of the mold O is sl ned at P by the width of the slideDun" g the backwardmotion of the slide A the low cart of the lever E isresting against the stopsorew G. This lever, which has so far occupiedan inclined position, will now be forced again into a vertical position,and the hook on the end thereof will glide upward on the inclined end ofthe pawl D until the spring F, pressing constantly against said pawl.makes it snap into locking position, by which the lever E is kept fastinits initial position of rest. If the mechanism for lifting the pawl D isset out of action, the auxiliary slide B remains hi its position of restand the mold O retains its normal width.

Having thus described my invention, what- I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Pat ent of the United States, is

1. A type-casting machine having a mold, a main slide, and an auxiliaryslide adapted to move therein, and yielding means between the two forshortening the mold to the space of th width of the auxiliary slide incombination with a control device consisting of interlocking levers,yielding means between one of said levers, and the auxiliary slide andadjustable means for releasing the interlocking levers, substantially asdescribed.

2. In a single-type-casting machine having an auxiliary slide B guidedin a main slide A. and adapted to advance toward the mold by springaction, in order to shorten the mold by the width of the auxiliaryslide, the combina tion of said auxiliary slide with a controllingdevice consisting of locling-lever E, pawl D, spring F, and stop-screw Gand adapted to operate snbstan ally as described.
